I've had this figure on my desk every since I got him and I'm still in awe of him. Looks amazing.
Damn, Lu, those are some crisp pictures. You get a new phone?

I got off my lazy ass and got the good camera!Actually, that's a lie! My lazy ass stayed put, but noticed my wife had left the good camera in my office, so I grabbed it and took a couple of shots!

Is that one of Stoney's Stands the Probe Droid's on?
I got my figure yesterday and opened him up last night. I haven’t spent a ton of time with him yet, but had some initial reactions.
The colors look better in person. The gold really does pop.
He’s very heavy even for a diecast figure. He’s more like a WM weight which is very nice.
The pointy part of the hip flaps seem easily breakable so be careful. I’ve seen others post about broken pieces. Seems like they could have designed it a little better but it does look good at least (nice clean lines)
As for the HS, it’s still not good. However, in person I’ve decided it looks more like RDJ as a profile only. If you look at it completely from the side then I can see RDJ. It’s lost as soon as you turn it and looks nothing like him straight on. I think it’s a result of them trying to thin out the face. My impressions are the same though. It’s a quality piece of art, but looks nothing like RDJ overall. IMO it’s a downgrade from the prototype. I will be trading it in for the updated HS in the fall.
One bummer is my helmeted head has some paint worn off from rubbing in the box during shipping. I’ve contacted SSC and asked for a new helmet. The rest of the figure is pristine though.

It’s just the stand that came with it. It’s the die cast version from the Disney store.

Oh! Trick of perspective, thought it was the SSC.
Glad you're enjoying the Endgame armour.

The arms, legs, head are all just ball joints. They just pop out with some force

Thanks guys!
I'm not an eminent Iron Man expert, but I think the figure is great. Beautiful finish and details and great presence. I only have this one, Mark I and Mark IV (I'm in the process of selling my Mark II but the jerk bidder flaked out on me), so my Iron Man figures knowledge is limited. But I feel like I have a nice little representational grouping, having the very first suit and the last, plus a "blocky" one with the round reactor.

Great photos. Did you tweak any of them in Photoshop though?
It's interesting that the gold on your images seem more muted (screen accurate) versus some images I've seen where the gold is overly saturated to the point it looks yellow.
Are the photos an accurate depiction of the colors in real life?
Yes they are. It doesn't look stupidly yellow as it appeared in one of those youtube reviews. So there's that.

Thanks, marvinmyles! Yes, the sheen is gorgeous. The finish is much nicer than my Mark IV, but that could be the die cast perhaps. Although I can't really tell what's die cast and what's plastic.
And thanks, gmoney! Nope, no PSD manipulation. Looks pretty much like that IRL.
